Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 108
"Master really went to Qingfeng County with Uncle?" Bai Shao was helping Wu's reconcile the noodles while listening to her chatter about what happened at Shilipu.

"No, I've been away for several days." Wu Shi was talking, and his hands were still working neatly, smoothing a ball of dough.

"Oh, that grandma must be crazy." Bai smiled and said.

"I heard that the old lady scolded angrily for several days, but no one in the family paid any attention to her. When she got tired of scolding, she stopped by herself." Speaking of the things about Shilipu, Wu couldn't help pursing her lips. laugh.

"If you scold, just scold, we can't hear it anyway, and the days to go back to Shilipu are even worse... What's the matter with Shao'er." Bai Weiwei said crisply.

"Sister, there are only a handful of them." Bai Shao smiled and covered Wu's cooked noodles with a stile, and put them in the corner to wake up for a while, after which she could wash the noodles and make Liangpi.

"Shao'er is still smart. Sometimes I can remember these words, but sometimes I can only remember half of them." Bai Wei stuck out her tongue.

"What's more, you are five years older than your sister, and you are not as fast as your sister. Now Shao'er can recite the entire Three Character Classic, but you two haven't even recited the first three chapters." Wu Wu Shi glanced at Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi reproachfully.

"Mother, you can't blame us, we just don't have the material to study, and we get dizzy when we see big characters." Bai Wei was not embarrassed at all, but said very brazenly, "In the future, mother, you can teach Shao'er, she Learning more is the same as me learning more.”

"You..." Wu couldn't help laughing.

The three children also laughed, and Bai Wei's was the loudest and most crisp.

Wu's eyes turned around the three children lovingly, and finally stayed on Bai Wei's injured face.

Because of the careful care of the family, the scars on Bai Wei's face have scabbed and started to fall off. Although the white scars can be seen where they fell off, Bai Wei doesn't mind at all, and always smiles very heartily, and The lifeless look when he was injured before was a world of difference.

Let’s take a look at Shao’er and Yunshi again. Because they have been rich and eat well during the time they separated, their bodies are gradually getting thinner, and they gradually have the appearance they should have at this age, and their faces are always He was full of smiles, even the dullest Yun Shi grinned from time to time.

Such a scene and such a day have never been imagined in the seven years since Wu's return to the Bai family.

So happy, so... happy.

As usual, on this day, Shiweitian opened the door when it was close to Sishi.

There are as many people who come to buy snacks and eat as usual. Although it is very busy, everyone in the family is very happy and satisfied.

Because Bai Shao was the best at arithmetic and she was young, she couldn't work hard for a long time, so Wu moved her a small stool and asked her to stand behind the counter and act as the shopkeeper.

"Little Shao'er, today I ate a bowl of ramen, drank a bowl of Hu spicy soup, and made a serving of pumpkin balls. Calculate how much money it is."

Because Bai Shao is young and Yuxue is cute, but she stands solemnly behind the counter to collect money, and even holds a brush in her hand, she looks like a little adult.Many adults who came here to eat couldn't help but tease her.

Among them, accounting is the most commonly used method.

"Hey, Uncle, a bowl of ramen is seven cents, a bowl of hot pepper soup is two cents, a serving of pumpkin balls is five cents, a total of fourteen big coins." Bai Shao was not angry, and calculated the number with such a serious mind , told the man.

"Oh, you're really smart, but it's a pity that you're a little girl, otherwise you'll be the champion in the exam." The man smiled and gave the money, and before leaving, he didn't forget to squeeze Bai Shao's face.

Bai Shao pouted, but didn't say anything.

The local people like to express their love for children by pinching their faces. Although Bai Shao doesn't like it, compared to kissing their faces every now and then, it's acceptable.

Just as she was thinking, she took a brush and added a touch behind the half-written orthographic words on the rice paper, such as Ramen Hu Hot Soup and Pumpkin Balls.

This is the accounting method she specially taught the whole family.

Compared with always writing big characters all the time to record how many copies of something was sold today, the method of writing orthographic characters is extremely simple and there are no omissions. Moreover, this account is incomprehensible except for the Bai Shao family.

Occasionally, I noticed it, but I just thought it was Bai Shao's drawing for fun, and didn't think of it in bookkeeping.

Only one person appeared today, standing in front of the counter, watching Bai Shao keep the accounts without moving.

Because he was doing mental calculations, Bai Shao ignored him, and after marking all the items, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Let's have a portion of everything." A strange voice with a little familiarity said.

Bai Shao raised her head abruptly, and saw a person who had helped her a lot——Zhao Hu!
"Mr. Zhao." Bai Shao was a little surprised, "Why are you here? Sit down quickly, I will ask my mother to serve you a meal."

"You don't have to be so polite." Zhao Hu smiled, picked a seat at random and sat down.

Wu and Bai Chuanbai are also very grateful to the person who bought the Baishao prescription for 150 taels. After all, the 150 taels directly changed the living conditions of Bai Laosan's family, so Wu and Bai Chuanbai quickly put many The food piled up in front of Zhao Hu.

"It's fine for me to eat here, you go and get busy." Zhao Hu saw that Bai Laosan's family respected him as if they were honored guests, and felt deeply that the family was kind. Because they were more busy, the Sanjia family let them do their work, and slowly tasted the food in their own corner.

"Okay sir, let's go to work first, if you are missing something, just call me." Bai Shao didn't put on any pretense, she nodded briskly, and went back to the counter and continued to keep accounts.

Occasionally, she would raise her head to see Zhao Hu sitting aside, seemingly eating heartily.

After lunch time was over, the number of people in the store began to decrease, Bai Shao asked Bai Wei to take over her bookkeeping, sat down on the opposite side of Zhao Hu, and chatted with him with a smile, "Zhao Hu Sir, how does it taste? If you still want to eat, I will serve it for you."

Zhao Hu took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, his eyes lingered on the messy food he ate, and he laughed, "I think that ramen is very interesting, it is stronger than Yangchun noodles, plus The flavorful soup is really good. But the disadvantage is that the mutton has a strong smell, if it is replaced with beef, it must be more popular with the public."

Speaking of this, Bai Shao's smile became more helpless, "Beef is too expensive, beyond the consumption level of ordinary people, and in Izumo Town, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy beef."

Because in this day and age, most cattle are raised by farmers to cultivate the land, few people are willing to kill and eat them, and the laws of the country do not allow it.

Only the old cows, because they can no longer plow the land, will be sold to be slaughtered for meat.

The so-called rarity is the most expensive, and the number of cattle is small, and the price of beef will go up. If you want to make beef ramen, even if you count the cost, the price is not affordable for the people of Izumo Town.

"Perhaps, the nobles in Xieyang County can bear it." Zhao Hu put the handkerchief back into his arms and smiled slightly.

You know, the cold noodle and iron plate tofu are very popular in Xieyang County, the owner made a lot of money because of it, and the shopkeeper and he both received a lot of dividends.

Bai Shao also laughed.

Zhao Hu smiled because he thought of the benefits brought by the ramen.

Bai Shao laughed because she knew that another fortune would be added to her family's accounts.

The two big and small foxes with their own thoughts smiled at each other for a while, and they didn't speak to each other. In the end, Zhao Hu couldn't hold back and spoke first, "Ramen, how about the recipe of Hu spicy soup?********** The exquisite food in Xieyang County, the pumpkin balls that are eaten in the sky, are obviously not rare, so Zhao Hu didn't want them.

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Bai Shao asked with a smile.

"Same as... last time?" Because cold noodle and iron plate tofu are very popular in Xieyang County, Zhao Hu spoke more grandly this time, at least hundreds of taels of silver can be decided by himself without the need for the shopkeeper.

"No..." Bai Shao looked at him with a flicker of eyes, and after thinking for a moment, she shook her head.
